lookingforfaith Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I have seen their website and they seem like such an amazing order! Has anyone here ever met them in person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah147 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) I totally agree. Beautiful, simple order with my favorite apostolate. It's rather seeing this order and how they do their work in such a simple, free, beautiful way that I'm learning what apostolate I'm drawn to. Strange, this seems like it was posted before.

OnlySunshine Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Some little history tidbit-- The founder of the order was previously a Franciscan Sister of the Renewal. Their habit retains the same style as the CFR Sisters, but in a different color (brown, not grey; also the collar is a little different). Also, much of their impoverished surroundings in their pictures look much like the CFR convents that I visited in January. If you read [i][url="http://www.amazon.com/Drama-Reform-Benedict-Groeschel/dp/1586171143"]A Drama of Reform[/url][/i], it has history of the CFR order and talks about how a few members left to form their own religious orders. The Capuchin Sisters of Nazareth are one such order.

It looks like the Sisters have some big tumor on the top of their head that they are trying to cover up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always curious to know the history behind various habits and veils... tradition vs. "fashion" vs. materials at hand vs. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissylou Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 No wonder they ditched their habits. [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/caption_no.gif[/img] Is it wrong that I think of the Saturday Night Live Coneheads? Probably. I shall go do penance.

Sarah147 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 The Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm have the same pointy veil! I think it is too silly and distracting, and lacking beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shana Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 That Capuchin Sister in the picture is Sr. Pia! Love her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
